Muffin tin meals prove that good things come in small
packages. Six different items are served in a muffin tin
providing manageable portions and a ton of fun. It is a great way
to encourage kids to try new foods, and also helps mom or dad
ensure the meal provided is balanced. You can make these for any
meal or snack of the day, and there are endless resources and ideas
online for different combinations. Muffin tin meals were made
widely popular by the Muffin Tin MOM (www.muffintinmom.com), who posts a new
muffin tin meal idea every Monday on her blog.

Prepare them for summer lunches on the back patio, dinner on
the go, or participate in the Muffin Tin Mom's "Muffin tin Monday"
by posting a photo of your own creation. If you find yourself in a
rut over what to serve your child, or need help encouraging your
child to eat different kinds of food, give muffin tin meals a try.
Here are some muffin tin meals I've made recently for my
kids.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, milk,
salt and pepper; set aside. Heat the leek and onion with a pinch of
salt Cook until tender, about five minutes. Add the carrot; cook
for one minute more. Remove from heat. Grease silicon muffin cups.
Divide the cheese among the cups, then the vegetables. Pour in the
egg mixture until each cup is three-quarters full. Add a few
potato chips to each. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 15
minutes.

with cooking spray. Using one biscuit at a time, place a biscuit
into a muffin cup and then press down to "dig a hole" in the
middle. Plant your broccoli by dividing it evenly among all the
biscuit cups. Sprinkle cheddar on top of each biscuit and bake
for 10 to 12 minutes or until the biscuits are turning golden
brown. Serve warm.
